The New Zealand Mint has issued the second coin celebrating characters from the STAR WARS spin-off, the popular Disney+ series, - "The Mandalorian", on behalf of Niue Island, which  features the battle-hardened warrior - "Cara Dune".

About Cara Dune:

Carasynthia "Cara" Dune is a human female Alderaanian who served as a shock trooper in the Alliance to Restore the Republic and the New Republic during the Galactic Civil War. A veteran of the Galactic Civil War who fought under the banner of the Rebellion, Cara Dune is a seasoned warrior. 

By 9 ABY, Dune - an intimidating brawler and crack shot -  Dune had put her days of military discipline behind her to operate as a mercenary.

 After spending time on the planet Sorgan, she met the bounty hunter Din Djarin and his companion and worked with him for a short time before Djarin departed Sorgan. 

Eventually, Djarin returned to enlist Dune to help him combat an Imperial remnant on Nevarro. After their mission, Dune stayed on Nevarro to work with Djarin's former employer Greef Karga. 

Eventually, she was assigned as Marshal of Nevarro by the New Republic.
